Send an urgent alert

Last Updated: Apr 06, 2017 02:00PM PDT

An urgent alert is a special type of post that reaches Nextdoor members immediately via text message (SMS) and email. Urgent alerts are intended for the rare cases where information is very important and time-sensitive. In the case of an emergency, please call 911 for immediate help.

NOTE:

Urgent alerts are limited to 110 characters. (You can add more details later by replying.)

Urgent alerts will only be posted to your immediate neighborhood. It's not currently possible to post an urgent alert to nearby neighborhoods.

You will not receive an SMS or email notification for urgent alerts that you author.
